I like Crosby, but the least he could have done is give McLean 2 seconds to get his mitts off. Can't give him the V for this one. Wonder if that cut on is nose came from the windshield. Kind of guessing so. Probably would have been a great fight if they were both ready and had a square-go.

Crosby's Penguins got run off the ice today by the Panthers. He was trying to rally the troops but jumping McLean like that was totally bush league, something you'd expect from the Slap Shot circuit.

At this rate it won't be long until there is a coaching change in Pittsburgh. Therrien is not getting much out of this group.

garbage, Sid jumped the guy, Mclean had no idea what was going on, total garbage move from a whiney puss puss hockey player, keep to the goal scoring and play making, finesse players finesse fighters fight, the Crosby's of the game are not supposed to drop their gloves, shake a guy around and look like their not too sure what their supposed to do after that. Garbage

Cindy is such a little punk. Is he suppossed to get the win for pulling on McLeans jersey constantly? NO. Draw.

Crosby completely jumped him so I cant give him a win for that crap. Draw.

Uh Crosby haters remember, Sidney Crosby is what you call a talented player, not a talented fighter. He's 21, still the youngest scoring champion in major sports history, he got frusterated and he took it out on someone. I'm sure it was provoked somehow (I didn't see if that was the case) What did you really expect? Honestly he shouldn't be fighting at all but dingbat Therrien scratches Godard and Shero sent Biznasty down so there is no protection for him. It looked like Sid did jump the guy but he still gets the win.

Crosby jumps McLean and whoops him. Kinda gutless. I guess he gets the win.
Posted by Tony Esposito on Jan 3, 2009 at 9:26 PM agree disagree
McLean had no idea it was coming. Total jump job by Crosby, why not fight him straight up?

As a Penguins fan and a fight fan this one was tough to watch. Glad Crosby is willing to drop his gloves but not in that scenario. I guess he is getting as frustrated playing as fans are watching him.

coward move by crosby,bushwacks a guy,imagine how long it would be allowed to go if crosby was the one being jumped.

"Oh my, what a fight by Crosby." Lol, give me a break. The Cros was hoping to keep the sweater up a bit longer so he could use his favorite punch-to the groin .
Posted by Stinelli on Jan 3, 2009 at 5:06 PM agree disagree
Crosby is a little girl for doing this. But atleast he didnt punch him in the dick.

Crosby looks like one hell of a wrestler.

"how many captains not named Iginla, Rivet, or Lecavalier drop the gloves to step up for their team"

Let's see. Toews, Chara, Thornton, Richards, Moreau, Brown, Doan, Clark and Morrow just off the top of my head.
